There are two ways to go with health - the allopathic way and the natural way.

The pharmaceutical industry has taken virtual control over the medical profession, and that has not proved a good thing for the independence of doctors, or the effectivenes of what they can offer you.

Drugs that show only slight statistical improvement over placebo, but which have massive side-effects, are often approved for use and prescribed as the thing to take for a particular condition.

So down the allopathic trail you find drugs and surgery, side-effects and more drugs, antibiotics and imbalance, damaged immune systems, chemotherapy, internal examinations and exploratory surgery. This is no secret, and most doctors will admit that even in the case of a serious personal health problem, they would avoid most of the drugs they prescribe.

Down the natural trail you find natural health, balance and well being.

Obviously, people can choose whether to go the natural way or the allopathic way, but the choice in most situations is clear. What seems always to be the case, and is so often proved by people the world over is that if you want to be healthy you have to find the answers to your health yourself.

Here's a way to start: Keep to a healthy diet; avoid excesses and things that are obviously bad for you; laugh as much as you can; find a way to inner peace, and for the sake of your health and well being, happiness, and life-span, stay away from drugs and their side-effects.

Then, if you get something going wrong with you, look for the natural route back to health. There is always a natural way and invariably it is better than allowing yourself to be physicaly interfered with or given toxic drugs. Keep the doctor's expertise for emergencies, and you will generally live a longer, healthier, and happier life.
